Science is immortal and coordinate neither with the premises nor with the conclusions of mortal beliefs.
The ancient prophets gained their foresight from a spiritual, incorporeal standpoint, not by foreshadowing Scientific foreseeing evil and mistaking fact for fiction, — predicting the future from a groundwork of corporeality and human belief. When sufficiently advanced in Science to be in harmony with the truth of being, men become seers and prophets involuntarily, controlled not by demons, spirits, or demigods, but by the one Spirit. It is the prerogative of the ever-present, divine Mind, and of thought which is in rapport with this Mind, to know the past, the present, and the future.
Acquaintance with the Science of being enables us to commune more largely with the divine Mind, to foresee and foretell events which concern the universal welfare, to be divinely inspired, — yea, to reach the range of fetterless Mind.
To understand that Mind is infinite, not bounded by corporeality, not dependent upon the ear and eye for The Mind unbounded sound or sight nor upon muscles and bones for locomotion, is a step towards the Mind-science by which we discern man's nature and existence. This true conception of being destroys the belief of spiritualism at its very inception, for without the concession of material personalities called spirits, spiritualism has no basis upon which to build.
All we correctly know of Spirit comes from God, divine Principle, and is learned through Christ and Christian Scientific foreknowing Science. If this Science has been thoroughly learned and properly digested, we can know the truth more accurately than the astronomer can read
